Welcome to the St. Jude Journal. I am delighted to share with you letters of thanksgiving for St. Jude’s intercession, especially during the upcoming Spring Solemn Novena to St. Jude, April 27th—May 5th. Please join with me and thousands of other devotees by sending your petition or letter of gratitude to the National Shrine of St. Jude.

Our faith gives direction to our lives as we continue to grow in our relationship with God. Many aspects of our faith come together to bring His loving presence into clearer focus, offering guidance as we navigate life.

Prayer opens our hearts to receiving God’s mercy and grace while sharing our hopes and needs with Him. This communication gives us the profound certainty that we are never alone. Our devotion to St. Jude takes our prayer to yet another level of connection with God, encouraging us to always hope and place our trust in Him.

You can join in the Novena by sending your special intentions and we will deliver them to the altar of St. Jude to be included in the Masses and prayers of the Claretians throughout the nine days of the Spring Solemn Novena.

Any gifts you can share with us—whether in prayers or financial support—make a significant difference in the lives of the people we serve.

Thank you for sharing in Novena prayer with us, and for reaching to God in this special way. May the hope of St. Jude be with you always.
